From the late 18th century Crimea was a part of Russia; that was until 1954 when Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, issued a decree transferring the small Black Sea peninsular from Russia to Ukraine which was still a part of the USSR. Crimea is, to this day, mostly populated by Russians, though there are also many Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars. The current situation on the peninsula is tense and complicated, people are divided; some of them want Crimea to return to being a part of Russia, others support an undivided Ukraine. A referendum on Crimea's future status will take place on March 16th 2014. RT sent a camera crew to Crimea to hear directly from some residents of this troubled part of the world.

► Moscow wins Crimea vote, West readies sanctions - By Mike Collett-White and Alastair Macdonald
SIMFEROPOL/KIEV - Crimea's Moscow-backed leaders declared a 96-percent vote in favor of quitting Ukraine and annexation by Russia in a referendum Western powers said was illegal and will bring immediate sanctions.

Crimea -- with a happy smile, sincere, on the basis of honesty, with a tight hug -- to express themselves is part of Russia -- because they are brothers, and Russia also hug Crimea with fraternal smile -- a smile that I saw in my dream some time ago; Russian smile which represented by Putin smile -- And then now you're going to impose sanctions on Russia? Ehehehe.

Go back to your home, USA! Mind the beneficial matters for a better future in your own country, okay? Then try to learn many important things from this political drama. Do you not feel ashamed to hear what was shouted by Crimea people with this referendum? They said, "We feel we're going home!"

And ye Ukraine, this is a hard slap you. Accept it! You deserve it for your wishy - washy attitude and your weakness to let yourself penetrated by the U.S. and the West, openly in front of Russia. You embarrass yourself. Shameless! And if you have become a part of the U.S. then it means you are ready to become part of the international shameless, among others: legalizing the drugs, same-sex mating, invasive, aggressive, nosy and all the trappings of the U.S. silliness.

One day, you will feel that your sacrifice is too great for minimal results that you get from your new relationship with the EU and the U.S.. And you will always miss Russia from a distance. Oh, dahling.

Alas, ...the worms in my ass like want to get out and get angry. What a kind of peace concept, huh? Ukraine, you have been infected by American devils! They often use the concept of peace if the beautiful word is needed, but they also throw the beautiful word to the trash if they're infatuated with aggression.

Peace is only a foul word to cover up yhe fraud, will be used if needed. And it is proven.

If you prefer the peace, why was there mass opposition staged a coup over elected president with brutal way, hm? And now you say peace. Damn you! Fortunately, Russia is not attacking you until you are dead! And I am very sure, Russia is not going to do that because Russia is a nation that has a high self-esteem and has a moral consciousness over the nation's cultural roots.

Oh hohoho, no problem, Mr. Senator. Can't you see that Putin is not too dizzy with protests and criticism from demonstrators in the country and from abroad, especially from the U.S.. hm?

Do you remember when Putin re-elected as president in 2012? To the demonstrators and opposition which had received support from the West in thwarting him to return, Putin just gave a brief description, like this, "The government's task is not only to pour honey into a cup, but sometimes to give bitter medicine." Then he casually adding, "But this should always be done openly and honestly, and then the majority of people will understand their government."

Please compare with your president .... eehehehhe ... what he could do to show his firmness? Same-sex mating? ahahaha ......, that's it?

Shhh, not only that, Cisca! Americans are also fond of war and weapons collection, ... mmmm .... just to hunt pigs, you know?

Moreover, I really wonder, why do they so hate Putin? Fear of the allegations in the Russian domestic political issue? Expectations about the return of Communist Party in Russia? And then the history of democracy in Russia will have been wrecked, smashed, nothing left? And then Glasnot Civilizations and Perestroika will only be a memory? Ehehhe. Or because you know Putin is the most exasperating thing for you, because he is the main competitor in your Globalization arena, hm? Yes? No? ..., oh, well, come on, come on, admit it.

>Ah, ignore Obama! Do not you realize, Mr Obama? Your sanction to Russia is only a minor annoyance for Russia. You and the EU will not dare to slap Russia, because your hands will be sore because of it. Hhehehe.

Well, you should get plenty of rest and restore your physical condition, Mrs. Gorgeous Braids. Why do you think you can walk by using other people's feet, hm? You're the type of woman who proudly admits your bountiful harvest obtained by the sweat of others and their hard work.

I wonder, why sadness is always contagious. Who are they looking for? Their relatives, of course. Self-reflection is very strong in grasping my mind, because we -- anyone -- should be ready to accept the fact that someday-- at any time -- we will be separated from family, friends, our loved ones forever. When they go, they can never be returned to us, though only briefly, very briefly and very quickly, for example as fast as the eyes blink. Next we will be hit by the eternal longing, although they have said goodbye to us before they go.

That's why my mom always told me, "Do not ever intentionally for forgetting to say goodbye every time you go out, because you will never know whether you'll be back again, just to say your forgotten word." : Good bye.

Parting with you has made ​​me understand what a beautiful moment together which I've always remembered. Good-bye, sweetheart. You're the love of my life. I lost you forever. I love you. I still love you although only in my heart, forever.

Yes, even from geographically, a chicken will giggle if the U.S. suddenly feel a part of Ukraine, shout out loud when patting its chest shamelessly, "Now I am a Russian replacement for you! America is Russia for you! "

Ahahaha ... stupid political clown! Can you imagine how embarrassing for someone who finds himself as an unidentified for others, when he feels he has become a hero to them? Eehhhee ....Excuse me, who are you?

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

About Me

"When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent. I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent. I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out. I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent. I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out." - Martin Niemöller
